I have a iPhone 16 Pro. Trying to charge it with my Belkin BoostCharge Pro 3-in-1 Magnetic Charging Stand. (Latest WIZ023 model) For some reason it either doesn't work or works intermittently with my Apple 35W Dual USB-C Port Compact Power Adapter. I tried an Anker 523 and it works just fine.

Based on the power specs it seems to me the Apple charger should work. I'll post pictures of the charger and all three adapters. I don't understand why both Belkin and Anker work but Apple doesn't.

Hi.
The Apple adapter doesn't list 12V as a possible output (input requirement printed in the base of the Belkin stand), the Belkin charger does and the Anker have 11V, that seems to be close enough.
 
Thanks. This seems to be the problem with USB-C. The average consumer isn’t going to look at the tiny, low-contrast print on the back of their charger and device to see it they’re compatible; instead they’ll be confused when it doesn’t work. And even I was perplexed because my charger is capable of outputting several combinations that are below the limit but the device won’t accept anything but one very specific combination. I love the physical interface. The rest seems like a huge mess.
